WalletHub's recent ranking of the best foodie cities in the U.S. compared a total of 182 U.S. cities, including the top 150 most populated cities. They were analyzed based on 29 key indicators of "food friendliness" across two dimensions: "affordability" and "diversity, accessibility and quality."

And while Seattle notched in at No. 8, handily scoring itself as one of the best food cities, Tacoma is far below it.

Though the city earned a higher mark in the diversity metric (ranking a 71), Tacoma got dinged pretty hard with a 120 rank in affordability.

Seattle, for its part, got 162 in affordability, placing it near the bottom 20 of the list. But our "diversity, accessibility and quality" ranking was 6, pushing Seattleites to a much, much higher spot on the list.

And some of this may be on WalletHub's key indicators: The site considered the basics like the number of coffee shops and breweries but then there are some other key indicators thrown in the mix, like food and drink meetups, and food and wine tours.

So, did Tacoma deserve to get dinged for all these things? Let us know what you think in the comments.
